The United Kingdom’s Strategy for Countering Terrorism, June 2018
Last Update: 7 September 2022
United Kingdom’s response to counter-terrorism is built on an approach that unites the public and private sectors, communities, citizens and overseas partners around the single purpose to leave no safe space for terrorists to recruit or act. CONTEST is the strategy framework that enables the United Kingdom to organise work to counter all forms of terrorism. CONTEST’s overarching aim remains to reduce the risk to the UK and its citizens and interests overseas from terrorism, so that the people can go about their lives freely and with confidence.
